Threatened by a uniformed store employee? Exactly where would this justify deadly force for someone following a customer out to his car to get his license plate number? Where? What state?
So you’re saying that nobody has ever been assaulted at a place of business by an employee? There are many documented instances of business associates loosing their cool and assaulting patrons. Several as well of employee on employee assaults. You are acting like a Wal-mart vest is the same as a Law Enforcement position. I’m sorry to burst your bubble people but a retail store employee does not have a God-given or State empowered right to force their will on any individual. Again put yourself into the customers position. You have been followed out to your car and some crazy coot is trying to frisk you. Are you going to submit and be a sheeple or are you going to be a Man and stand up for yourself. Nobody has any right to lay hands on another person without due cause. Employee or not! Nobody! If this employee did in fact follow this customer outside of the store and to his car and then did in fact lay hands on him, he engaged in assault and therefore should expect to suffer the consequences. If you don’t like it that way perhaps you should think about moving to the UK where you are required to take a beating from an assailant.
